my daughter's hat, my own pattern

this is the great thing about crochet, you can easily create a pattern and be happy with it.
the pattern is so easy I'd like to name it the "square pop corn" I'll have to work on writing it.
this is my teddy bare wearing my baby's hat>>>

good girls ride Dodges with butterflies hanging from them!!


who can fulfill these condition, any one?? I DON'T THINK SO!!

so you know what is the traffic like in Dubai, streets are too crowded with all the construction work of the metro going on, i had to figure out something to do in all of that wasted time, of course, KNITTING, when cars stop knit, cars move stop knitting and drive with out being disturbed by all the traffic jams.

so the main idea is that good girls are the girls who drive black dodges and knit in the middle of traffic jams.

cool idea! what do you think?

a new creation of crochet


i imagined this stitch for so long and i tried to find it's pattern, i searched the net, but i coudn't find a pattern to match the one in my mind, so i sat and after the second try, i figured it out.
yeh yeh inshallah i'll write the pattern of this stitch when i finish my hat.

a trip to desert

we have been to the desert yesterday or what we call "bur" it was fabulous, the funniest thing is that while we were setting and preparing our food a herd of camels gathered around us, and started eating our paper box, i didn't know they liked boxes! any way we enjoyed their company because they stuck around the whole time,

this is my eldest son looking at the camels>>

camels coming towards me>>back off pows!

knitting is a bless,,

knitting is a treasure, once you find it you can't get enough of it,
knitters are calm and peaceful, because they meditate, it's a beautiful thing i knit nearly every where, i cant describe the feeling that i get out of knitting, it's a deep thinking activity, i even invent things while i knit, i get the most fresh and bright ideas, i get more concentrated every day.
i love knitting, and i truly thank god with all of my heart for that gift, and yes it's true: knitters are blessed.

its winter at last, these are the days that i was waiting for all year long, i tend to make them very spiritual, productive and fill them with great memories.
i made this pot in four hours, i started painting at nine pm and finished at one after mid night.

a top for my daughter>>


i crocheted this top a month ago, and totally forgot about it, today i was going through her closet and i found it, so here it is, it looks absolutly great on her.

how i feel about smooth white chocolate>>




I'm so falling in love with these crochet booties, i used a fine 4ply cotton yarn, and a 2.5mm crochet hook, i wrote the pattern myself, i really thought of vanilla and white chocolate and tried to put the scent and the feeling into crochet stitches.








I am back!


what a relieve!
I had a nose job done for me on thursday, it was bad! i looked like a frog till yesterday (a purple one actually), what is even worse is that i had to lie down on my back and watch TV for 4 days, this is hill for me I'm a very active person, and now i cant exercise for a month!!

it is so weird, that you agree on every thing before the surgery and once you get it done, you start whining about it.
